Senior-Junior Party O N the night of February 10th the Juniors were guests at a “thoroughly enjoyed by all” Valentine Party, given by the Seniors. Everyone assembled in the corridor of our High School until all were present. Then the doors to the Study Hall were opened and we entered. The long tables of the Hall were arranged, each with a number and a game such as “Dominoes,” “Old Maids,” “Authors,” “Checkers and “Parcheesi”. On a little table near the door was a small box with tiny red hearts, all with a number to a table which had the number corresponding to that on his heart, and there was a partner for him. There were four at a table and the winning couple moved to the next table. Mr. Link had a small alarm clock and every ten minutes it would ring, a signal for the winners to move. Even the Faculty or better Chaperons indulged in these games. Mrs. Courtney liked the “Old Maid” table so well that she just could not leave it and Mr. Steck was quite enthused over the “Dominoes”. After we had finished “progressing” we proceeded to a feast in the basement in couples, those being partners who had last played together. We filed into the cooking room and there we found a most original and delicious cafeteria supper. The color scheme of orange and garnet was carried out, these being the Senior Class colors. The girls placed the refreshments upon the trays which the boys carried. Having finished “collecting” we took seats in the hall. Looking over our refresh¬ ments we discovered sandwiches, Presbyterian pudding, orangeade, a lemon in which there was a stick of candy, cakes and lastly a candy boutonniere, as souvenirs. It was very comical to look around and see everyone puffing and sucking on a stick of candy, working so hard to force the lemon juice through. Our new piano was played and everyone tried their best at singing, until suddenly “Home Sweet Home” was played and so we left for home, after a most enjoyable evening. Virginia Biscoe. 60
